TRUST 001 Julien Bracht - Sun EP

Bandcamp: https://sohaso.bandcamp.com/album/11-years-sohaso-echoes

Time flies when you’re having fun. Or when you’re deeply immersed in music, like we are at SoHaSo. Because we missed our own birthday! A decade of Something Happening Somewhere almost went by without any birthday cakes or celebration. So here’s something joyful. 

To mark our 11th birthday, we present 11 tracks to be released on 11.11. The album contains 11 echoes, each a highlight from the journey of our label.

"Of course, it's impossible to pick just 11 highlights from 55 releases”, says label owner Nuno Dos Santos. “But these 11 tracks are truly special to me."

The compilation opens with our first-ever release from Love Over Entropy in November 2013—an immersive, hypnotic stormer that relentlessly builds to epic proportions. Even after all these years, it hasn’t lost an ounce of its charm or energy.

Another standout is the wonderfully wonky Endure by Utrecht-based knob-tweaker Vela Uniform. This track recalls the glory days of Warp’s Artificial Intelligence series—yes, it’s that good.

We also revisit the dubby Detroit minimalism of Luna Ludmilla, and the reissue of our collaborative EP with Lossless, featuring King Britt’s timeless track from 2002. “A sonic narrative that has captivated me since its release, it remains just as fresh and uplifting 22 years later. It felt only right to share its transformative beauty with a wider audience.”

Then, there's Dave Angel’s legendary Original Man, originally released in 1993. “With its innovative rhythm programming and orchestral arrangements, it still feels as groundbreaking now as it did 30 years ago”, Nuno says. 

Closing the compilation is Kurt Baggaley’s Former Self, a 13-minute journey that seems to stretch time itself. As it drifts along, the boundary between reality and dream blurs, leaving listeners suspended in an entrancing, esoteric haze.

11 days after Echoes, SoHaSo will also release Horizons. A compilation of 11 new tracks where the Utrecht-based label looks ahead, to the future.

We continue our much-acclaimed SPEICHER brand with yet another set of bangers ready to fiercely usurp hearts and minds - Berlin-based producer and Keinemusik/Rampa collaborator RE.YOU signs responsible for the latest instalment in the series, a worthy addition to its heritage of forward-looking, club-ready techno.

Two precisely engineered cuts adorn the new SPEICHER 12", with the hypnotic FANTASY taking the lead on the a-side - grinding its synth teeth

and brimming with foreboding atmosphere, this one's a particularly enigmatic stomper that pairs its compositional relentlessness with a small, but hand-picked pallet of sounds, tailored to perfection for an adventurous crowd.

The flipside brings you the uncanny ROBOT starting out as a somewhat relaxed groover embedded in what sounds like a animatronic zoo - but soon building up an seizable amount of nail-biting tension, thanks to a single rising drone that is joined by mysterious voice snippets and a stoic baseline. It's another example for RE.YOU's impressive skill set when it comes to hard-hitting techno hidden in plain sight.

Straight outta the fiord lands of southern Norway comes the new EP from Hydrous. We’ve come to a point where we no longer need to introduce the sound universe of Per Christian Berg to our ever-growing Navigare tribe, as he’s become a foundation for what we are and what we want to express. “Deep Techno”, “Psychedelia”, “Neo Trance” – call it whatever you like, what matters is that our brand of electronic dance music can assist your spirit to fly.

Simple, yet rich in detail; uniform, yet explorative; uplifting, yet with an unmistakable Nordic melancholia – Hydrous music continues to hypnotize and fascinate us at the Navigare HQ, and we’re happy to continuously receive the praise he deserves from around the globe from his past collaborations with us.

For this release you’ll notice a subtle gain in intensity in all three tracks. Although being far from peak time monsters, the aim here is undoubtedly to entrance a focused dancefloor, preferably while the sun is rising. Whether it’s the Eden-like atmosphere of “Cascade”, the introverted broken beats of “Infinite” or the meaty trance of “Pathos” that will guide the crowd through the morning session is only a matter of circumstances and taste.

Remix work is by none other than Buenos Aires based Forest On Stasys. Owner of the celebrated label Danza Nativa and a highly accomplished producer, stretching from tribal Ambient to dirty, mind-melting peak-time Techno, we knew we’d be in for a treat for this collaboration. Staying true to a Hydrous sound universe, while adding gentle tribal percussion and some über-psychedelic alien bleeps á la Eat Static, this track will blow minds on a starlit night out in the wild.
